He doesn't like to do root canals, because it's cheap. He'd better do some crowns or implants. And he will show you your treatment plan later, when there's no way back. In my case, when I asked him to do a cleaning, he trimmed away my upper front tooth in order to make a four tooth bridge in the future. I had to leave LA next day and left with plastic tooth. Obviously, I didn't plan to make any crowns or get a "hollywood smile" in two days of my stay in LA. I just wanted to get a consultation and general cleaning at most.
Be careful, don't make my mistake. On the initial consultation he asked for deposit of $4,000 "in order to feel himself like a real dentist". Now he is not going to refund it, obviously. I can proof that he is a swindler.
About Hygienist: He is kind of hygienist too. All inclusive for your money.
